The 60 Second Leader
Everything you need to know about leadership, in 60 seconds bites
Phil Dourado
This book is a distillation of 30 essential elements of leadership into 60
second digestible chapters. There are also 30 true 60 Second Leader Tales in between
the chapters to help bring some of the leader learning points to life.
However, I don’t want you to feel misled by the book title. So if you picked
this book up expecting to fi nd ‘how to be a great leader in 60 seconds’, then
here it is:
THE 60 SECOND PHD IN LEADERSHIP
Think back to the best boss you ever had and the worst boss you ever
had.
1 Make a list of all things done to you that you abhorred.
2 DON’T DO THEM TO OTHERS. EVER.
3 Make another list of things done to you that you loved.
4 DO THEM TO OTHERS. ALWAYS.
And you thought leadership was complicated.
Source: Dee Hock, founder of Visa. I fi rst heard Hock’s 60 Second PhD in
Leadership from Tom Peters, who uses it sometimes in his presentations.
So, if that is what you wanted – how to be a great leader in 60 seconds – the
rest of this book is just gravy.
